Feder-Vardi conjecture, which proposed that every finite-domain Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is either in P or it is NP-complete, has been solved independently by Bulatov and Zhuk almost ten years ago. Bodirsky-Pinsker conjecture which states a similar dichotomy for countably infinite first-order reducts of finitely bounded homogeneous structures is wide open. In this paper, we prove that CSPs over first-order expansions of finitely bounded homogeneous model-complete cores are either first-order definable (and hence in non-uniform AC$^0$) or L-hard under first-order reduction. It is arguably the most general complexity dichotomy when it comes to the scope of structures within Bodirsky-Pinsker conjecture. Our strategy is that we first give a new proof of Larose-Tesson theorem, which provides a similar dichotomy over finite structures, and then generalize that new proof to infinite structures.
